I love remembering my friends' birthdays and doing special things for them however I can. I remember during my high school days, I started saving from the beginning of the term until the end, just to get something nice for my crush on her birthday.

The irony? I have never done something nice for myself on my birthday. I've never celebrated it. Instead, I usually stay indoors, replying to wishes and answering calls. However, I have promised myself that this year will be different. I don't plan to celebrate, but I'll make sure to get something nice for myself. I deserve it, and I know that.

When you told me on voice call that you always cry on your birthdays,I was shocked. I was rooting for you all the way and looked forward to asking if you cried or not. It's nice to know that you didn't. I’m glad that you didn’t allow that tear drop.

I'm super proud of you! Your next birthday will definitely be bigger and way better.

Thank you, Jhymi.🌹
